"He is Elijah," said others. And still others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the old prophets."

And they told him. "Some say John the Baptist, others, Elijah, and others that you are one of the prophets."

Moreover there appeared to them Elijah, with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

"Master," said Peter, addressing Jesus, "it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

So they asked him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"Elijah does indeed first come," he said, "and restores all things, But how is it written about the Son of Man, that he will endure great suffering, and be rejected?

"Elijah indeed has already come," he added, "and they have done to him whatever they pleased, even as it is written of him."

When they heard this, some of the bystanders said, "Listen, he is calling for Elijah."

Then a man ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, and put it on a stick, and offered it to him to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down!"
